SpaceWorks OrderManager offers a convenient wireless access option. It provides your business buyers with real-time, 24x7 access to key order management functions (e.g., place orders, search product catalog, checking inventory availability, tracking order status, and more) directly from a handheld wireless device. Information delivered via OrderManager's wireless access option is fully integrated with you back-end systems.

Anytime, Anywhere e-Business
Adding wireless capabilities to your OrderManager site, enables users to perform critical business tasks from nearly any location, helping them to be more effective and responsive while away from the office. A sales rep can check the status of a client's order before going into a sales call, for instance. Or, the rep can place and confirm an order on his wireless handheld device right in front of the client. OrderManager's wireless access option empowers reps to take immediate action in the simplest possible way.

OrderManager's add-on wireless capabilities can also be combined with other technologies to significantly enhance productivity. You can treamline your inventory management, for example, by combining OrderManager's wireless access with technology that enables wireless devices to read bar codes. Your inventory specialist can first scan product bar codes to determine stock levels. Then, using the same wireless device, place orders for additional stock from the floor via Wireless OrderManager. This is a timesaving benefit you can also make available to your trading partners.
